Last I heard, blacks, or anyone for that matter, weren't naming their kids nigg*s, but that would be f**kin hilarious to go to school with person. Perhaps if you could show when or where this was actually a racist term? That would be worth considering. To my limited knowledge, it's not been so, but I'm willing to entertain that I'm wrong on this. However, even among my black friends now, those terms are used in the context of endearment, not slang.
